After an unbelievable rollercoaster of a season sons secured their first division status with a superb win over struggling Cowdenbeath. The game began scrappily with neither side really threatening ,however somewhat against the run of possession (if that counts) Cowden took the lead. Garry Flemings loose pass was picked up and the ball was played to CRAIG MOORE who sprinted in on goal and nutmegged Grindlay to send the small band of home fans wild. Sons didn't look disheartened however and forced a series of corner kicks but nothing came of them. Then after 31 minutes a moment of magic from SCOTT AGNEW levelled things. The ex Ayr united man picked up possession 35 yards out and somehow managed to lob keeper Thomas Flynn. Dumbarton looked a different team,as did cowden whose heads seem to go down.Steven McDougall fired in a pin point ball to the head of JIM LISTER whose looping header flew into the net for his 12 league goal of the season. From this moment on it only looked like one team was interested and it was of no surprise when the excellent McDougall drew a foul from the blue Brazil's player manager Colin Cameron . SCOTT AGNEW again stepped up and stroked the ball down the middle of the goal, for his 11th of the season. It was no more than the sons deserved and as half time came the many away fans were in a great mood. The second half went the same way as the first with sons dominating, Gilhaney,Agnew,Turner and McDougall all went close,before Ian Murray turned to Bryan Prunty. Dumbarton continued to dominate but could not extend their lead. Prunty and Andy Graham both missing good chances. Cowden gave themselves a glimmer of hope in the 89th minute when Kyle Miller glanced home but they couldn't find an equaliser.Ref: Stephen Finnie frustrated the players and fans with a series of inconsistent calls,no huge mistakes however and got the penalty spot on 5\10Man of the Match: Its hard to look further than Scott Agnew,was at the heart of everything good for sons and scored a wondergoal,an almost flawless performance.Next up: Champions Patrick Thistle at what should be an excitable Bet Butler Stadium!
